All Chapters of Claimed By Alpha Xander Marco: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Bella's POVMy entire body ached as I dragged my feet through the long hallway leading to my husband's chamber. Alpha Lucian. My hands trembled around the flowers I had picked myself from the garden earlier that morning. Their sweet scent mixed painfully with the smell of sweat still clinging to my skin after hours of work.The pack house buzzed with life tonight because of the visiting guests, yet none of them cared that their Luna had spent the entire day serving tables, organizing rooms, and helping the kitchen omegas until my back nearly snapped in half.I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced myself to keep walking.Maybe if I worked harder, they would accept me someday.Maybe if I kept trying, Lucian would finally look at me the way he used to.The thought alone made my chest tighten painfully.I had been married to Lucian for fours years now, but it was never a peaceful marriage. It was filled with constant humiliations both from him and the pack members.Still, I came to

Bella's POV Three months had passed since I left Nightwood Pack after that night with Alpha Xander. I still didn’t know how I survived the journey here, but somehow I did. I ran all the way to Atlanta with nothing but fear in my chest and confusion in my mind, trying to escape everything that tied me to that place.That was where I met Asma again.She wasn’t just a stranger to me. I knew her from the pack. She and her brother had been exiled by Lucian, and fate brought her here too. When I arrived broken and lost, she didn’t ask too many questions. She simply opened her door and gave me shelter like I mattered. Like I was still a person and not just someone discarded by pack life.For the first time in a long time, I felt a kind of peace.Slowly, I started to move on from Lucian and I barely even thought about him anymore. It was like he had faded into the background of my life, becoming someone I used to know but no longer belonged to my present.But Alpha Xander… he never left my

Bella's POV I blinked rapidly before letting out a shaky breath after realizing who it was."Asma," I muttered.But who else would knock like trying to break the door down?Another knock echoed through the apartment more louder.I rose to my feet and headed for the door.The moment I unlocked the door, it flew open.Asma rushed inside carrying several shopping bags."There you are!" she exclaimed, dropping everything onto the floor. I have been calling you for 20 mins".I grimaced and removed my phone from my pocket.Five missed calls.Oops.I forgot to look into it."Clearly."She narrowed her eyes suspiciously.Then her eyes fell to the paper gripped in my hand.A glow warmed her full face."No."I couldn't stop the smile spreading across my face."Yes."For one second she simply stared at me. Then she screamed.The next thing I knew, she threw her arms around me so hard I nearly lost my balance."You got it!" she shouted."I got it," I laughed."You got the job!""I know!""Oh my

Bella's POV I woke up the next morning to the smell of food.At first, I didn’t even open my eyes.For a few seconds, I just lay there, my hand resting lightly over my stomach.After what felt like forever a soft sigh left my lips as I finally forced myself up.Asma was in the kitchen, moving around quickly like she had been awake for hours. Plates had been set, tea was steaming and the table had been tidied up.Without turning, she called out, "Finally. “I thought I’d have to drag you out of bed.”I rubbed my eyes and walked closer.“You act like I’m always late,” I mumbled.She finally looked at me and smiled. “Because you are.”I rolled my eyes but couldn’t fight the small smile that followed.I took my time to get dressed after breakfast. Each move seemed to be heavier than ever, as if my body had already felt the sort of day that awaited me.Asma kept talking in the background while I dressed.I watched her from the mirror say, “Don't stress yourself too much today. “First day i

Xander's POV I was frozen in place the second she advanced closer.Without waiting for me to step in properly, she walked toward me as it seemed she was meant to be there.Slow. Deliberate. Making an effort to appear confident.The smile split her face and her heels tapped softly against the ground as if she had been waiting for me all day.I took a big puff out of my nose, already angry.“Anita,” I said flatly, my voice low and sharp.She didn’t stop.She was just such a problem.She didn't hesitate when she needed to.I lifted my hand up to stop her from getting too close.“Didn’t I tell you,” I said coldly, eyes narrowing, “to stop coming to my apartment without notice?”She paused. For only a second, though.Then she smiled again as if what I just said was entertaining.“Come on, Xander,” she said softly, tilting her head. “Come on, you're too serious, you're always doing that.”I stared at her inside, I felt nothing but annoyance.I stepped further into the room, loosening my ti
